The Gemini desktop app is now available for Windows

Today, we’re launching the Gemini desktop app for Windows 10 and 11. This new application is designed to operate seamlessly alongside users’ favorite tools, providing instant assistance without disrupting their workflows.

The Gemini app for Windows provides users with a variety of ways to enhance their productivity directly from their desktop:

The Alt + Space keyboard shortcut brings Gemini over active work for quick tasks, like fact-checking a document or brainstorming presentation titles.
Users can ask Gemini to draft project summaries using information pulled directly from Google Workspace apps like Gmail and Google Drive.
Users can bring creative concepts to life by generating custom images with Nano Banana directly from their desktop.

This launch marks the beginning of Gemini app’s native desktop capabilities for Windows, with more features planned to roll out over time.
